    I May Have Babies.

    Yeah, I'll probably just let nature take them, I leave in less than a week, and my mom does not want to take care of 3 different tanks.

    I May Have Babies.

    Last night, I noticed one of my Neon Tetras had a really big belly, and I thought it may be eggs. This morning, his/her belly is gone, and I think it may have laid eggs, but neon tetras are tiny, and their tank has little bubbles on the side, so I can't really tell. I'm guessing that the eggs...

    Got My 10 Gallon

    Ok, clears throat. My stocking is going to be. 6: Neon Tetras 4-5: Guppies. Maybe a Pleco, but as I've read, I think Plecos need a bigger tank, correct me if I'm wrong. I love tiny fish, they are so cute.

    My First Tank

    Looking good, keep up with the cycling I'd say get 6 neons, a few cardinals and some more phantoms, and a few small top dwellers, and you've got yourself a good tank.

    Got My 10 Gallon

    Well, I was supposed to get a 5 gallon which was supposed to be a home for a betta, but, today for $40.00 at walmart I got a 10 gallon, which comes with a good filter and other fun stuff. Now while I was there, these 14 year old kids, were like "Hey, you can get two of these" "Yeah, I'll put...

    I Need Urgent Help, I Think My Fish Are Dying.

    Well, the comets have slowed down, no more stringy stuff. Although, the Shubunkin looks almost depressed, and the other ones keep bugging him, while he's trying to rest. He is swimming around less and when they are fed, he will get the food as fast as he can and go back to his spot. And the...

    Penguin Tetras And Black Neons

    They are little copycats. For the breathing, you may want to check for ammonia and nitrItes. Also, is the tank cycled? I'm sure it is. It's probably just stress from moving in, just give them a day, and if they are still doing it, then post in the emergency section. Oh, and are they in your 240...

    Too Overcrowded?

    The Clown Loaches will have to go and the Sail Fin Pleco, but other than that, I see no problems.

    How Much "resting" Is Normal?

    Another thing to add is, if you put in a silk plant, they love to rest on those, because they can be lazy and get air at the same time.

    I Need Urgent Help, I Think My Fish Are Dying.

    Also, they seem to never stop pooping. As soon as they are done of one, they have more. Another thing is, I'm having an awful algae problem in my tank, there is brown algae everywhere and they peck at it, could this be a reason?

    I Need Urgent Help, I Think My Fish Are Dying.

    This afternoon, came home from school to see my goldfish pooping out long stringy white stuff with a black tip. After he pooped that out, he pooped a regular poop and then a small bit. I was pretty concerned, so I did a water change. Now Piranha's bum is not looking good and i can't explain...

    What Do You Give Them?

    What do you guys usually feed your Neon Tetras? I have them on Bloodworms. I'm thinking sinking granules is probably the best? Going in to town tomorrow, so I can pick some up, along with a plant.

    Any Help?

    I need some help. I have 2 neon tetras in a 1 gallon, which if you read in my other topic, is only temporary for about 2 months. I stuck my finger in their water, and it is fairly cold. Any way to heat it up? I can't get a submersible heater, or I will have fish stew.

    Stressed Neon

    It's probably the ammonia, I recommend doing a water change, about 20%.

    Sorry Betta-lovers

    I'm getting the tank on saturday, but I will be in Newfoundland from June 26 to July 25, so I can't set it up until then, except for cycling. The next one, I'm naming Bowser, then Peach, then Wario and if I decide to get 6, then the last one will be Waluigi.

    Sorry Betta-lovers

    I won't be getting a Betta anytime soon. Last night I went to Wal-Mart with NO intentions on buying fish. I got there and I saw the guppy tank with neon tetra's and I decided I wanted one. I watched the Neon Tetras swim around, and my mother reluctantly agreed that it was ok to get some. There...

    I Have A Question

    The fish's slime coat is vital, but I'd like to know, how do you tell if they have a fairly good coat?

    That Was Close.

    Today was water change day, so of course I did a water change. When I was done, I knew it was also treat day, so I gave them a treat of cubed tubifex worms, which I peel off smaller pieces. I peeled off too big of a piece that only Colossus could've eaten and Oreo decided he wanted it. Took it...

    Goldfish Question

    Let me clear this up. 1 Fancy Goldfish = 10G 1 Loach = 10G You could have 1 Fancy and 1-2 Loaches, just make sure if you are having 2 loaches, make sure you have lots of filtering.

    Fish Sapce Required

    It is true, first Non-fancy needs about 20-30 gallons (20 is probably more accurate, but more is better) Than the next ones need about 10-15. Now, my situation is bad, because I have 3 in just 15 gallons. Can't take them back, because they won't. So I'm stuck with those buggers.

    Getting Them To Eat From Your Finger

    I can't wait to get a betta. The Golds (Hooray, talking about lame goldfish again) PECK, and I mean PECK me if I finger feed them. Little monsters are what they are.

    JPMC are my initials. My goldfish aren't messy at all, except for poop. They will eat ANYTHING in their tank, (poop, too :sick:) Also, I'm more into Cold Water fish. (Is it the fish, or because I'm too cheap to buy any kind of heater for an aqaurium?) I know alot about Bettas, too. I had one...

    Saawweeet.

    The Betta that I saw the other day that I like was a Red Crowntail, but the tail was only a small one. He was a male for sure, but a short crowntail, not quite a Plakat. If they don't have one of those guys, I'm getting a Blue/Green Veiltail.

    Got a call from my grandmother today. I'm getting a 5 Gallon Hex. My grandmother's not one for brand names, but I know the name has tetra in it. Now the cycling part is going to drive me insane.

    Saawweeet.

    Good news bad news time. First, the bad news. In newfoundland, I was planning on getting a huge tank for the goldfish, as the 15 gal is too small. I can't buy it, because it would be too big to take back home. Good news. Sometime around this week/next week, I WILL get a tank, but only a...

    I Think I Was Given False Info- Can You Help?

    First of all, it's not your fault, you never heard about cycling. Is the tank 620 litres? If so, that's great, you have lots of space, which is a good thing. N ow, have a look on this forum and around the internet, you should find an article on fish-in cycling. it's more dangerous than...

    What Do You Think Of That.

    Remember how I was so called "Torturing my fish" Well, some better news. First I thought my tank was 6, maybe 7 gallons. Later on I kept to the theory of 8.5 Measured it last night, it's actually about 15 gallons. I know I didn't do a perfect measure, but I know it's 50-60 litres, which is...
